Wisconsin technically still has a shot at the B1G West title. If you count .3% as a shot.
Right now, the more realistic expectation is 6 win and, by extension, a bowl bid. The Badgers are 5-5 with a rough loss to Iowa fresh on their minds. A win over Nebraska in Lincoln would put them over that mark.
The Cornhuskers are playing for pride and pride alone. Nebraska is 3-7 on the season despite a lot of close calls that could have made them bowl eligible. They have 2 chances to pick up a win: This week against the badgers and next week against Iowa.
ESPN’s FPI weighed in on the battle, giving Wisconsin a 74.7% chance of reaching bowl eligibility. The game is set for Noon on ESPN.
